Abstract
The DC/DC converter provides an output current which is periodically variable over time and includes a control network which generates a variable reference signal for the input current which is substantially smoothed and obtained from the difference between the output voltage and a reference voltage. The substantially smoothed reference signal causes a variation in the duty cycle of the converter in order to compensate for the variation in the output voltage resulting from a variation in the output current.
